West Coast Eagles vs Port Adelaide Power Odds

West Coast Eagles vs Port Adelaide Power Preview

West Coast will be chasing a season sweep of Port Adelaide when the sides meet at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. The Eagles claimed one of the surprises of the season when they edged the Power by two points in Adelaide earlier this year and arrive with confidence after defeating Essendon last weekend. Youngster Willem Duursma continues to impress, while Jake Waterman has rediscovered strong form in attack. Port Adelaide, meanwhile, returns from a bye looking to halt a four-game losing streak. The Power have struggled for consistency in 2026 despite the brilliance of Jason Horne-Francis, who remains one of the competition’s standout performers. With both clubs desperate to build momentum heading into the second half of the year, Saturday night’s clash could prove pivotal to their respective seasons.

Teddy Atlas has highlighted one major factor that could make Dmitry Bivol too great of a risk for David Benavidez.

Their potential undisputed clash could materialise later this year, or early next year, though both light-heavyweight champions are equally considering alternative options.

With Bivol having just retained his IBF, WBO and WBA titles against Michael Eifert, there appears to be considerable interest in an Artur Beterbiev trilogy showdown in Russia.

Beterbiev won their first encounter by majority decision in October 2024, while Bivol claimed his undisputed crown via the same margin in their rematch the following February.

It would therefore make sense for the pair to enter a rubber match, potentially leaving Benavidez to remain at 200lbs in pursuit of further titles.

‘The Mexican Monster’ dethroned Gilberto Ramirez with a sixth-round stoppage last month, becoming a three-division world champion by claiming the WBO and WBA cruiserweight titles.

Since then, he has become the mandatory challenger to WBC cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian, while still holding his green and gold strap at 175lbs.

If it were up Atlas, Benavidez would be targeting a three-belt unification match in his current weight division, rather than making the same mistake that Roy Jones Jr did in his illustrious career.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the Hall of Fame trainer explained the danger of coming down in weight after having acclimatised to the division above.

“The only concern I have is [with Benavidez] going up and down in weight. Case in point: Roy Jones Jr.

“When he went up [to fight] John Ruiz to win that version of the heavyweight title, then came back down, he was never the same. He was getting older, but he was never the same.

“[If] you go up in weight and then you’ve gotta come down – [Benavidez] can do it, but it could be a problem.”

In the case of pound-for-pound legend Jones, a bold decision to re-join the 175lb weight class ultimately contributed to him suffering a second-round stoppage defeat to Antonio Tarver.

The college football world has closely followed the ongoing Brendan Sorsby court case against the NCAA. While a federal judge weighs a decision, Texas Tech recently appealed to the NCAA in an effort to secure Sorsby’s eligibility. As expected, the NCAA denied the request, leaving Sorsby’s fate in the hands of a Texas federal court judge.

In many ways, the move was embarrassing for Texas Tech. Supporting a player and helping him navigate a difficult situation is one thing—that’s what programs should do. Doing the player’s public advocacy for him is another. For a program that aspires to compete with the likes of the Texas Longhorns, it comes across as a desperate and weak position.

Texas Tech should have moved on from Sorsby the moment he admitted to gambling on his own team while at Indiana. That’s an inexcusable action with potentially serious consequences for the integrity of the sport. Sorsby’s attorneys can talk about student well-being all they want, but the reality is simple: a player who gambles on his own team should never play college football again.

The Red Raiders knew the details once they became public. This is not a case of a program standing by a player after being misled or deceived. Instead, Texas Tech appears to be acting in bad faith in hopes of retaining its starting quarterback. Sorsby’s actions are not the program’s fault. Refusing to move on from them, however, is.

A school can support a student-athlete while also acknowledging harsh realities. Actions have consequences, especially when they undermine the integrity of competition. When one player acts selfishly, the fallout extends beyond himself and affects everyone around him. Those consequences are now Texas Tech’s to bear.

The Red Raiders may simply be delaying the inevitable. The odds appear stacked against Sorsby receiving eligibility. Even if a judge ultimately rules in his favor, Texas Tech should seriously reconsider whether he belongs in its football program. How can the coaching staff and administration fully trust him again—not only to lead the team, but to make sound decisions moving forward?

In almost any other era, and likely with almost any other player, Texas Tech would have dismissed him immediately. The difference here is that Sorsby plays quarterback, and a talented quarterback at that. Talent, however, should not excuse behavior that threatens the credibility of the sport.

Regardless of how the judge rules, Texas Tech should move forward without Sorsby. Anything less would add insult to injury for a sport already fighting to preserve its integrity.

The Belmont Stakes has often been a race of stars. It’s not often that an out-of-nowhere horse shocks the world, compared to the Kentucky Derby, that is. But the Belmont Stakes 2026, which will run at 7:04 p.m. ET on Saturday, is not the longer, more-grueling 1½ miles due to the move to Saratoga Race Course, as Belmont Park continues major renovations. It’s now 1 ¼ miles, the same as the Kentucky Derby, which lately has been rife with shocking winners. Claim your exclusive TwinSpires $400 signup offer here with the promo code CBSSPORTS, more than what’s available to the general public:

Renegade has been the favorite in Belmont Stakes odds and remains atop the board, a 2-1 morning line favorite in the 2026 Belmont Stakes odds. But four other horses are right in the mix. Chief Wallabee is 3-1, Derby winner Golden Tempo is 9-2, while fellow Derby competitors Commandment and Emerging Market are both 6-1. With so much to consider while making your 2026 Belmont Stakes picks, a little expert help can go a long way.

Saratoga has its own, established history, and it hasn’t always been the best spot for favorites. Perhaps the most notable example came more than a century ago. In 1919, legendary horse Man o’ War suffered his only career defeat in 21 races at Saratoga. The horse that shocked the world was aptly named Upset – and yes, it coined the term still used when a big underdog beats a favorite.

Given all the history of the race, there’s a method to picking which horses to focus on for exacta, trifecta and superfecta bets in a Belmont Stakes like this, and SportsLine expert Jody Demling knows what it is. He can help you make the best 2026 Belmont Stakes picks possible.

A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling hit the top three finishers in the 2025 Kentucky Derby in the correct order. He also called 11 of the last 22 Preakness winners and predicted the winner of the Belmont Stakes four of the last eight years, including an exacta in 2022 with Mo Donegal and Nest. Anyone who has followed him on horse racing betting sites could be way up.

Top 2026 Belmont Stakes expert picks

Here’s a refresher on these types of bets from SportsLine’s Jody Demling:

Belmont Stakes Exacta: Pick the first- and second-place finishers in the correct order. A $2 exacta returned $13.20 at the 2025 Belmont Stakes with Sovereignty and Journalism.

Belmont Stakes Trifecta: Pick the first-, second- and third-place finishers in the correct order. A $1 trifecta returned $13.80 at the 2025 Belmont Stakes with Sovereignty, Journalism and Baeza.

Belmont Stakes Superfecta: Pick the first-, second-, third- and fourth-place finishers in the correct order. A $1 superfecta returned a colossal $40.50 at the 2025 Belmont Stakes with Sovereignty, Journalism, Baeza and Rodriguez.

While Golden Tempo (9-2) is one of the favorites, Demling isn’t including the Kentucky Derby winner in his picks for the 2026 Belmont Stakes. “I still don’t believe he’s the best of this bunch and I don’t think he gets a perfect set up here like he did at Churchill,” Demling told SportsLine. He is building his tickets around an epic double-digit longshot who a legendary trainer is “very high on”, spicing up Demling’s 2026 Belmont Stakes exotics. You can see his picks here.

Mirra Andreeva is a Grand Slam champion for the first time after defeating Maja Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2 in the Roland Garros final.

At just 19 years old, Andreeva becomes the youngest woman to win the French Open since Monica Seles in 1992.

The victory also sees Andreeva claim the sixth title of her career and move to No. 1 in the Race to the WTA Finals with a tour-leading 36 wins in 2026.

Despite the achievement, Andreeva was quick to recognize the run produced by Chwalinska, who came through qualifying and reached the first Grand Slam final of her career.

“Of course first of all congrats to Maja for these amazing three weeks. Passing through qualies, winning so many matches, beating so many great players, congrats to your team as well. You guys have done an amazing job.”

“You’re a very tricky opponent. I wouldn’t want to play against you one more time,” she joked. “I wish you the best of luck for the rest of the season.”

Andreeva also thanked her team for helping her reach the biggest moment of her career.

“Thanks to my team. I can be a tough cookie sometimes. It’s pretty hard to put up with me certain days.”

“Thank you very much for pushing me to my limits. Thank you for making me work even when I don’t want to work. You always push me.”

The teenager reserved a special message for her parents, who have supported her throughout her journey in tennis.

“I will say a special thanks to my parents for always supporting me and always believing in me. My dad is currently watching on TV. Thanks so much for always being there for me and supporting me no matter what.”

“Last but not least I also wanna thank myself for believing in myself. Always giving my 100% even when it’s tough. Trying every day to be better as a person and as a player.”

“Believing I can do this. Fighting so many demons inside of me. Only I know how tough it was for me. How nervous I was these last few weeks.”

“Also thanks to myself for working so hard and giving my best.”

At 19 years old, she is already a Grand Slam champion. Based on what she has shown this season, there may be many more major titles to come.

Sydney Swans vs St Kilda Saints Odds

Sydney Swans vs St Kilda Saints Preview

Sydney will look to maintain its unbeaten home record when it hosts St Kilda at the SCG on Sunday. The Swans have been dominant on their home deck this season and produced one of the performances of the year by thrashing Richmond by 114 points. Isaac Heeney was sensational with 32 disposals and five goals, while Charlie Curnow continued his hot streak in front of goal. St Kilda arrives under pressure after a disappointing defeat to Hawthorn, where the Saints were held to just five points by half-time. Injury concerns have also mounted following the loss of Sam Flanders. Sydney won a thriller between the clubs last season and will start as favourite again, but the Saints know an upset could reignite their finals aspirations.

The NYPD reversed its ban on New York Knicks watch parties for the NBA Finals, but after Game 2, it may be regretting that decision.

Fans got so rowdy during the Knicks’ Eastern Conference Finals run that the NYPD put a stop to watch parties outside Madison Square Garden. But when the Knicks clinched their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999, the department said the party was back on.

The Knicks will come home with a 2-0 series lead on Monday, but Game 2’s victory, the biggest for the Knicks in a generation, brought about unruly behavior outside the Garden.

The Spurs fought back from a 14-point deficit to take the lead in the final minute of the fourth quarter, but with the game tied at 104, Victor Wembanyama threw a pass off an unaware teammate’s back and Jalen Brunson stole the ball. Brunson was fouled and hit one of two free throws to take the lead. Wembanyama then took a potential game-winning shot but missed the mark.

Game 3 will be Monday night in New York, with President Donald Trump slated to attend.

Demi Vollering claimed victory on a shortened queen stage of the women’s Giro d’Italia on Saturday but admitted it was the “weirdest finish line of my life”.

A summit finish in Sestriere had been scheduled for the eighth and penultimate stage, but organisers reduced the route by 28 kilometres as an unstable slab of ice was threatening to fall on to the route.

Ice had already been cleared from an avalanche shortly before the riders passed through the Italian Alps.

Instead the line was hastily moved to one kilometre below the Colle delle Finestre, where Vollering, of FDJ United–Suez, prevailed in a four-way sprint finish.

The pre-race favourite edged out Isabella Holmgren, Antonia Niedermaier and fellow Dutch rider Anna van der Breggen to claim her second stage win of this year’s race.

“It was strange because the Finestre was suddenly the final climb,” said the 29-year-old Vollering. “It was the weirdest finish line of my life, but I’m very happy to take the win.”

Team SD Worx–Protime rider Van der Breggen retains the pink jersey for the final stage, over 145km around Saluzzo at the foot of the Alps, with Vollering having cut the four-time winner’s lead slightly to 49 seconds.

“We hoped that we could get closer to the maglia rosa today,” said Vollering. “Tomorrow’s stage is not as hard as today’s, but we will make a plan and think about how to try to win the Giro.”
